Stepping out of the car, a feeling of nostalgia hits Lola. She chuckled and Joel's eyes landed on her

"What's funny?"Joel asked

"I just got to know how much I miss home,if only you know what Monica and I did in this community when we were quite younger"Lola said giggling and Joel smiled "you don't look nervous meeting my family"Lola asked with one of her brows quirking

"Trust me I am"Joel said climbing out of the car. One look at the massive local house is enough to tell Joel it's a very loud and extended family type of house. The children where busy playing when they drove in, the play ended when their eyes landed on the beautiful car

"Sister Omolola!"Tolani shouted running out of the house,she bombarded her sister with a terrible and bone crushing hug

"Oh my God! I can't breathe, Tolani release me!"Lola said and Joel chuckled,Lola glared at him. Tolani chuckled and release her sister from the hug

"I missed you so much sister!"Tolani said pouting and Lola smiled playing with her hair

"Mom told me your result is out"Lola said and Tolani nodded happily. Her WAEC result was supposed to be out since August but her school result was withheld and it was just released lucky enough for her she cleared all her papers

"Good afternoon"Tolani greeted Joel with respect

"How are you?"Joel asked smiling. He was busy enjoying the exchange between the two siblings and didn't mind he was totally ignored

"I'm fine"Tolani squeak. Lola chuckled and they walk inside the house. Lola can see her mom really prepared down for her,a lot of things had change in the sitting room. Her mom and the rest elders of the family came,she knelt down immediately greeting them. They exchanged pleasantries and welcomed Joel with open arms

"You're welcome my son. Lola told us a lot about you"Korede her uncle who is also Monica's dad said and Joel smiled

"Thank you sir"Joel replied. They were well seated in the living room after being welcomed with an enormous lunch. They talked for awhile with Joel making his intention clear he wants to marry Lola

"We have to meet your family"Korede said and they all nodded "your family and mine will meet up and talk,then we will set the date"

"And we don't want the date to be long, like asking us to give you a year time"Aunt Miriam said and they all chuckled

"Maami!"Lola said shaking her head. She can see how desperate her mom is to see her getting married

"I wasn't planning on wasting her time too, I was planning in two months time"Joel said and Korede shook his head in disagreement

"One of my child will be getting married in two months time and it won't be easy to plan two wedding at once"Korede said and they all nodded in agreement

"In four to five months time then. Around may"Joel said and Korede nodded

"Anyways that's okay,it's enough time to prepare and meeting your family is important,we can't just give you our child without knowing where she's going to,you said you're a doctor right?"Korede said and Joel nodded

"Yes sir"Joel replied and his eyes landed on Lola who was busy smiling. She appreciated the way her family welcomed Joel,they acted as if they knew him for a very long time.

Daniel watched Monica warily,any person who doesn't know the two will think he's contemplating how to murder her,he sigh and checked the time on his phone, it's after twelve and Monica is still sleeping. She's just lucky they are currently on a holiday.
